Description: POET POET Technologies December 31, 2025

POET Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: POET) designs, develops, manufactures, and sells photonic-integrated semiconductor solutions, leveraging its proprietary POET Optical Interposer to co-package electronic and photonic components on a single wafer. The company targets data-center, telecom (including 5G PON/GPON), edge-computing, LIDAR, medical OCT, and VR/light-source markets across the U.S., Canada, Singapore, and China.

Recent filings show POET generated roughly $45 million in revenue in FY 2023, a year-over-year increase of about 12%, driven primarily by expanding data-center interconnect orders. The photonic-interposer market is projected to grow at a 15% CAGR through 2029, with demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency links in 5G rollout and AI-accelerated workloads serving as key macro drivers. POET’s R&D spend remains near 20% of revenue, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of wafer-level photonic integration and the ongoing shortage of dedicated silicon-photonic foundry capacity.
